The fourth Joint Consortia National Dissertation Workshop on “Contemporary East Asia” at the University of Southern California on May 18, 2018. It is designed to enable students to present and engage in intensive discussions of their work in broader East Asian and multidisciplinary contexts. The workshop will be led by three faculty mentors who focus on modern China, Japan and Korea: Stanley Rosen, Professor of Political Science, University of Southern California; William Marotti, Associate Professor of History, University of California, Los Angeles; and Susan Hwang, Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Indiana University. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a doctoral program and must have begun to draft a dissertation, although they need not have advanced to candidacy. All doctoral students whose area of research falls within Contemporary East Asia are encouraged to apply. Participants are required to fund their own travel to USC, as well as some meals.
